(5/2/01) SOURCE: Unix Insider http://www.itworld.com/AppDev/4061//UIR010502regex1/ ================ THE MISSING LINK ================ A look at an off-the-wall story from the Web... "Got caught going full monty? Doh!" If you visit the Oxford English Dictionary's online edition (http://www.oed.com/), be sure to check out the "d's" and note the homage to Homer. Not the Greek dude who wrote those epic poems you had to read in high school, but the animated geek with epic problems. The OED has admitted Homer Simpson's trademark "doh!" into its latest official lexicon. The word police define it as "expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also implying that another person has said or done something foolish." Of course, they could also define it as a method of imitating Homer Simpson. You can only see "doh!" in the online version - the print edition is a few years off. Some other new words and expressions: "bad hair day," "full monty," and "cheesy."
